ABSTRACT
Racial difference can be said to be the biological difference ,hich is found bet,een people ,ho differ in hair texture0 s1in color0 the shape of the nose and eyes among others! These differences have been seen to be correlated ,ith cultural and intellectual differences! This suggests the superiority in culture and intellectual among the people from the ,hite race! &enetics have sho,n that the difference bet,een the biological races is very much reduced! It is therefore possible to have a blac1 person having the same genetic similarities ,ith a ,hite

Sociologists therefore aim at investigating ,hether the biological differences have any impact on the education achievement!Even if the relationship found bet,een the education achievement and ethnicity vary ,ithrespect to age of the groups being compared0 there is evidence that the Caribbean boys0 2angladeshi and #a1istani students studying in %3 are not very successful as compared to the ,hite students! The issue for instance on the lo, attainment of the blac1 people in school is odd ,hen put together ,ith post compulsory experience in school! In this vie,0 it is evident that blac1 students ,ho have &CSE results belo, or ,ithin the median have high li1ely hood of attending the higher education as compared to ,hite students ,ith the same results! aterial factors are very much significant as compared to cultural factors ,hen it comes to the education failure in the ,or1ing class!

One of them could be the fact that in the Asian community0 English isn4t their language! Also the Caribbean people use the #atois and Creole in spea1ing and also ,riting ,hich is not Standard English! The frequent use of these languages may ma1e them not able to understand the formal language! This may ma1e the students from these communities fail to understand questions as ,ell as ans,er the questions in a manner that the examiner ,ill understand!
